Multiple inputs with same name through POST in php

by

Change the names of your inputs:

<input name="xyz[]" value="Lorem" />
<input name="xyz[]" value="ipsum"  />
<input name="xyz[]" value="dolor" />
<input name="xyz[]" value="sit" />
<input name="xyz[]" value="amet" />

Then:

$_POST['xyz'][0] == 'Lorem'
$_POST['xyz'][4] == 'amet'

If so, that would make my life ten times easier, as I could send an
indefinite amount of information through a form and get it processed
by the server simply by looping through the array of items with the
name “xyz”.

Note that this is probably the wrong solution. Obviously, it depends on the data you are sending.
